Totally needs a candle-lantern version for medieval play-throughs! XD

Would be cool if this was carried in a pawns inventory and only equipped (automatically) when they're actually mining, and then unequipped when their job changes.

Since this mod has been reported working in 1.6 I added it to the No Version Warning-mod
https://psteamcommunity.yuanyoumao.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2599504692

It is working for me on update 1.6 no issues

what about 1.6?

I added this mod to a 1.5 game: No issues detected.

I can verify that this mod still works for 1.5.

1.5?

I have used this (in 1.4) and rocket man without issue. I do keep colonies small though.

If you use rocketman your game must lag like hell

Does this upgrade the glow grid every time the pawn moves tile???

1.5 please

@LadyStoic DLC doesn't matter, if it works it works whether you have the DLC or not. This does indeed work, but I suspect it's also just an XML addition so, all that needs be done is updating the mod version to include 1.5.

Still seems to work with 1.5, though I don't have the Anomaly DLC.

1.5?

@Balthazad: Well, it depends how you envision the mining vest. I mostly see it as a utility suit, designed to improve work abilities, not as a combat cloth.
But the magic of modding allows you to easily change it to your taste! :-)

Why would you change the layer type?

trust me, it needs these changes to work properly along with other mods/items ;)

The helmets kinda low res and the texture isn't really clean but the mining vest is straight fire.

@Dester You would need a way to mask out the areas of the light you do not wish to see. Which, if you want to do it properly would require a new shader built in Unity.

@M00nStalker: It may be possible but it is probably not that easy as I use a CompGlower to spawn/remove the light and pawns have no Comp themselves.

Would it be possible to add the light functionality to mechs from Biotech?

@Captolamia Lights Out has just received an update to address compatibility with this mod. It now ignores the helmet

@Dester: that was the case in the early version of this mod but it was simplified as it was too CPU-intensive for a small realism benefit.

Causes draw flicker with Lights Out Mod. So conflicts with Lights Out. This flicker is very hard on people with brain issues.

Any way for the mod to be updated where the light focus is only in the facing direction which is more like real mining helmets ?

I forked and built this on 1.4. Worked right out of the box thanks to Rikiki being a legend, it seems to be working just fine in my game: https://github.com/Kupie/Rimworld/releases/tag/1.4

does this work in 1.4

The light isn't working automatically - do I need to change something to allow it please?

lol would be nice to have a cave man / Medieval style hat like a glow worm headband for tribals

This is nice to have with Realistic Darkness.

Thanks for the update! Mining Co. is back in business!

I'm amazed that this wasn't actually part of vanilla. Anybody have problems using with 1.3?

Update pls

I'm surprised there isn't more of these. I mean if we can craft guns.. it's almost a no brainer to have tactical flashlights on guns, helmets or shoulders. I truly hope the modder adds a combat grade model, or at the very least someone else provides a series of tactical combat gear with directional lighting. Nightvision goggles would be cool to along with advanced tier thermal goggles.

This kills my framerate when pawns wearing the light move from cell to cell. Anyone else?

Or maybe shoulder-mounted lights for military gear?

Add an armored version please! I'd like soldiers with lights or miners able to jump into combat.

@AuntyDonna and ..::||Viper||::..: that's corrected! No need of a light for this job!

@..::||Viper||::.. Hey, visibility and cranial protection are important right? The pawns know what's up.

Update?

1.2 pls?

I just noticed the funniest bug. When pawns are doing lovin', the lights turn on, when they are done, the lights go out again. xD

Is this a research mod?

Thanks!

@pastalavistababy: yes, here [github.com].

Hello, is there a 1.0 version of this?

@Beronies: thanks for the report! I will look into it.

With Royalty the helmet counts as a building when the wearer is inside a monument, so the game gives an alert about the monument being destroyed. Goes away when they walk out, just FYI

@Lelbaro: yes, you can! As long as you provide proper credits (Creative Common license).
